BOSTON (CBS) – Mayor Tom Menino is set to issue an executive order to ban the sale of sugary drinks on Boston city property.
Menino is expected to make the announcement at City Hall before noon. The mayor’s office said Menino is issuing this order because of the link between sugary drinks and rising obesity rates and health care costs.
The mayor hopes the city takes steps over the next six months to phase out the sale of sugary beverages on city property.
